Please be as consistent as you can. Caffeine and nicotine are also drugs.

It's good you are off of coffee now. Try to smoke the same number of cigarettes every day and if possible, at the same time of the day.

Hello Shep,

I know, I have stop Coffea very slowly for this.

For cigarettes, I can say that I smoke the most : early on morning, early afternoon, and of afternoon and evening...

Hard to régule as you say me but I will try. Before benzo I smoked 5-7 a day...

I take care with my alimentation : very little sugar, no more spices, no detox, very little wheat and lactose. My alimentation is inspired of foodmaps diet since several years because I have intolérances and irritable bowel syndrom. I try to eat varies so I do not have a deficiency (carences) and do my possible to have a régularité transit.. I make myself my bread not with wheat but spelled.

Since you take take any drugs or supplements until 8 am, you may want to set your alarm for 8 am instead of 6 am. This would give you more sleep, which may help a lot with your symptoms.

Hello Shep,

That's what I did for signature but :

Too long signature that I can't change. It doesn't work. Sorry.

For alarm : no choice. It is alarm of my companion to go to work. Alarm ils during 30 mn : radio + Télévision. Strong. If he doesn't do like that, he doesn't not wake up... After I try to sleep again a little but I can't : nausea are very strong and reduced when I cet up.

Aches and burnings reduced a little, I hav had a lot of anxiety, and now very tired with fog in Brain and feeling me like overdrugged. I'm in my bed to sleep a little. Can't fight against sleep.

Are you able to sleep in another room? Sleep is so important during withdrawal. A lot of pain and burning symptoms come from lack of sleep, so please do all you can to be in a quiet space for as many hours as possible each night.

If I were you, I'd stop the probiotics, to start with. Please continue to post daily notes.

I had itching 10 october on scalp and no more.

Since 29 october I have itching again every day on evening, essentially in scalp but a little on face and legs too.

I know that drug can avoid to cry but...I am a personne who dont cry since ... more of 30 years maybe. I'm 41. It is current for me not to cry during more one year, I am very sensible but not cry. I know why. I can say that since one year I think have really crying 3 times, which is a lot for me. ^^

For probiotics, I though to finish my cure, juste 5 days again and stop. I make 2-3 cures of one month of probiotics/ year. It help me. ( irritable bowel since several years)

What is causing the scalp itching? Did you try a new shampoo recently? A change in drug manufacturer?

I would like to see you stop taking all the things that are not absolutely necessary: lithium citrate 1 mg, probiotics, homeopathy, L-tryptophan 220 mg. Any of these substances may cause reactions that confound your symptom pattern.

The lithium and tryptophan need to be tapered.

Hello Altostrata,

No new shampoo, no change in drug manufacturer, no new laundry etc.... I have scalp itching sometimes since several years but it is better to be carefull.

I think I will have my periods tomorrow : aches that I know well : not a problèm anymore is nothing comparéd before my endometriosis surgery but at this time I'm always very tired with umpleasant symptôms. Maybe a raison of nervosity ?

I had no intrusive images : ouf !

Tomorrow is another day.

This morning I feel me very nervous and agitated. Very hard to stand and I'm affraid.

It's worring me a lot. I try to tell me that it will not last and to calme me. But is difficult in relation in my history with antidepressant. I was very much stable with sertraline, but after 3,5 month of escitalopram, I think I have no other choice to stay with it. Take sertraline again should be worse for my CNS... And we dont know what dose will be correct ?

I see my psychiatrist this afternoon. Wish me good luck. No lamictal !

I will say her that I'm little less dépressive, to have escitalopram again, but that all is is not ok. I wouldn't like that she tell me to reduce Prazepam. But I managed to accumulate +/- 300 days of prazepam in advance.

She think that I have increased escitalopram to 3 mg. I hâte to lie, but dont have other choice...
